General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

One stop workers always seem to love having power over customers in my experience. Never been to a shop with staff more strict on following every stupid rule they make up.
Refused to sell me a pack of crisps because it's past it's best before date. I don't care I just want the discounted crisps. Nope she took it off me insisting it's illegal to sell it to me - it's not. They are also the only shop that has asked everyone I am with for ID because I wanted to buy a single bottle of cider. I am 32 and was refused the sale because someone didn't have ID.
Cashier's and crossing guards... poster children of a tiny bit of power going to ones head.
